What do you think of Hitler?

Answer 1

i think he was a smart man with bad intentions.

Answer 2

It is very unfortunate that his countrymen (Hitler was Austrian) did not see him in the light that he is today. Charles Lindberg was a great admirer Of Hitlers and , in fact, used all of the political influence that he could bring to bare, to keep the U.S. out of W.W. II.
No doubt, a gifted orator, and having the ability to sway one half of the civilized world's opinion, he rose from a poor, infantryman in WW.I...a frustrated art student.. and unsuccessful at little else.
He elevated a whole nation out of a financial depression:
post war devastation, and returned the national pride to a progressive technological society ( Germany was the first Country to have a national health care program) that was internationally humiliated and deprived of 20 % of it's previously held territory's.
Although, a lowly corporal, he recognized the military superiority of air power and a highly mobile ground force.
No doubt, his strategies were ruthless,cruel, and unprincipled to achieve his ends but he was not the first and won't be the last.
If we don't see this earth shaker for what he truly was how will we avoid such a disaster to humankind from reoccurring ?

Answer 3

Insane megalomaniac who happened to be in the right place at the right time to mesmorize and woo the German folk at a time when they were down and out. By the time the Germans woke up, it was too late and the land was in rubble. His stubborness and lack of formal tactical military training did cause some major losses (Stalingrad for instance), but his order to not retreat did save a few battles. His initial successes going against his Officer Corps did not last long as the allies began to bring their forces to bear after Stalingrad. The number of his military blunders far outweighed some of his bold moves that brought some victories.

Answer 4

Psycho lunatic mass murderer who was abused as a child who ended up getting other psycho lunatics that were no doubt abused as children to come into power and conned an entire country to condone and help commit the atrocities of war and genocide that he promulgated.

Read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich if you really want to understand anything about that awful period in history.

Answer 5

He was paranoid. Even some the closest people to him thought so. I wish more people would learn from the mistakes of the past instead of repeating them. And, yet today, even after the awful things that happened during WWII. People are repeating these unthinkable acts. I wish more people would be like Gandhi. But, I see little of that in the world.

Answer 6

He made a poor Commander-in-Chief of Germany's military during World War II. Others may go on about his "genius" and his skills as an orator, but they ignore the fact that he assumed control of one of Europe's greatest militaries, and his orders often led to the destruction of his forces rather than allowing them to retreat.
But this is hardly surprising, since he only achieved the rank of corporal during the Great War (World War I).

Answer 7

Hitler was a mentally ill man with a persecution complex. All he like to do is kill people.

Answer 8

He was indeed a great man,yet in my opinion he was narrow in scope,and should have united with the Jews rather then attempt to exterminate them.

Answer 9

He was a murderer or Geonocide, killed millions of Jews for no reason, and tried to take over the world. Selfish, and should have been killed himself rather then commit suicide.

Answer 10

i agree with VCP, he was definitely intelligent and knew how to convince people to believe in many things. although his actions and beliefs were very "evil", to put it one way.
